Knoppix 7.0

Knoppix 7.0

This month’s Linux Magazine DVD is the brand new Knoppix 7.0 Live distro in 32- and 64-bit options.

Knoppix 7.0, which is based on kernel 3.2.4, excels as a system rescue and trouble-shooting tool but also includes the latest desktop software, such as LibreOffice 3.4.5, Iceweasel (Firefox) 10.0, Chromium 16, LXDE, KDE 4.4.5, Gnome 3.2.2.

The latest Knoppix Live Linux DVD is based on Debian stable (squeeze) with newer desktop packages from Debian/ testing and Debian/ unstable (wheezy). Current computer hardware is supported by kernel 3.4.9 and Xorg 7.7 (core 1.12.3), and the Apt database now contains all data necessary to install software directly via Synaptic.
